They are often used to demonstrate compliance with certain aspects of a contractual agreement or regulatory provisions related to audited financial statements.
Special report can also refer to an in-depth investigation of a subject, oftentimes within the context of journalism or academic studies. In journalism, this could mean a detailed look at alleged wrongdoing or corruption, while in academia, it may refer to an in-depth exploration of a technical or scientific subject.
